Yes, a partnership firm can invest in mutual funds, as it can open and operate a bank account. Of course, a partnership firm is not a separate legal entity like a company incorporated under the companies act. Therefore, the partners are technically joint owners. ... Yes,partnerships firms / LLPs can invest in mutual funds.

A partnership firm doesnot hold a separate legal entity as a corporate but it can have a bank a/c in its name, it can hold shares, units of mutual funds and make invesments in name of the partnership firm which will ultimately be owned by partners in agreed ratio since when we lift the veil, partnership is nothing but a deal between the partners who are actually the owners and liable for all debts of the partnership firm. Thus a partnership can buy mutual funds in its name. Hope this resolves your concern Thanks

Dear Sir, Thanks a lot for your Reply. One last query is that if the firm wants to sell the Mutual Fund then whether it will fall under the Capital Gains or not.
